On August 12, 2004, a new project entered the world of commons: OpenStreetMap.
As soon as he was born it was not easy to imagine his future, but the premises that led to his birth were very clear: to satisfy the need to have access to a free database of geospatial data with the contribution of all.
The project, as a child, immediately became a giant that made its heavy entry into the world of ICT.
Inside OpenStreetMap we find many stories to learn from, we find a huge innovation laboratory from which companies have grown up, we find stories that have changed people’s lives, brilliant ideas and much more.
Let’s walk this path together, also seeing the contributions that South Tyrol has been able to make.

January 21, 2021 – Apache Foundation publishes an article entitled “Apache Superset first level project” accompanied by keywords such as “big data”, “visualization”, “open source”, “business intelligence” and a long list of companies. The talk will present this product in the form of a tutorial so that anyone can start using it.

Superset was born from a hackathon organized by the AirBnB company which then adopted it as a production tool for analyzing company data. The project was born immediately as an open source product and has met with great success to the point of becoming a project of the Apache Foundation.
